Not unless you hold professional qualifications and experience that falls under the relevant permanent resident visa’s occupation list or if your employer is willing to sponsor you.

Do not trust any employers or agents that gives you a “guarantee” for PR sponsorship after X number of years - never gonna happen for unskilled labour.

Yes, I applied for my PR under subclass 189 before moving.

189/190 will require you to go through IELTS or equivalent, and if I recall correctly you’ll need to score band 6 for all 4 parts as a minimum. You’ll get additional points for straight band 7’s and straight band 8’s.

Everyone within my circle have gotten their 189/190 visa before they move, regardless if they’re a local or overseas grad, so I’m not sure what you’re implying.

Yes I am, but doesn’t really matter as I only get 5 additional points as part of the process to get an invitation to apply. Most of my peers who migrated are Malaysian/UK grads.

Is it possible for me to keep my Malaysian citizenship and let my kids (I don't have any yet) to attend their school?

Reason is when I am retired, maybe retire in Malaysia to avoid the taxation in Australia.

Question on a  PR application:  My daughter graduated in Architecture in 2021 from RMIT in Melbourne. She has since worked for about 16 months in the profession in Melbourne.
She is currently on TR visa. She is planning to apply for PR at the end of the year. She is only 24 years old by then.
From the points calculator, she seems to have 80 points.

Do you think she will be able to get her PR by then?

What's MRA?

And what does she need from AACA?

Thanks

Thanks for your very helpful input!  

I guess you are an Architectural graduate too!  

3+2 as in 3 years bachelor and 2 years Masters?  She has her masters already.
Sorry to clarify. 

You are ok with paying so much for tax?

Hopefully it's clearer now.

No one's door.

Reason is I can FIRE if I dont move to Australia. With all the taxes I don't think I can FIRE. Maybe yes but take longer (which I don't want to wait). The reason for FIRE is to have early retirement and enjoy life.

I agree and I already start seeing the changes in Malaysia even though it's still cheap for now. 3% tax Vs say 32.5% tax.

Bro, they already know long time ago.

Lhdn already said they are going to tax all foreign source by 2025 or 2026 (can't remember which) that are remitted into Malaysia at 3%.

It was supposed to be implemented this year but huge backlash hence postponed.

I was looking at UK and Canada too and they have tax shelter stuff their resident for retirement. Australia only have super and that's even tax 15%.

In the context of future retirement when one is presumed to be older, lacking in energy, higher prospensity to fall sick,  think the best solution is to make more money such that any added tax is simply treated as a fixed cost of living in the desired country. Desired meaning, access to amenities like nursing home, hospital, walkability, safety... etc

imo, optimizing for future taxation during retirement is simply running too much on the margins. Is better to make more money such that taxation is not important, esp when one still have the earning capabilities. Taxation policies can change anytime and they probably will to curb tax "minimisers".

What about TRs?

Thanks mate.
Not a lot of people has this experience like yours.
